Life is nonlinear: Living the life in this particular universe is interesting because almost every natural phenomenon is nonlinear. It, thus, is inevitable that an inquisitive and self-aware mind would undertake the curiously adventurous journey of trying to understand the order and chaos in the nonlinear systems. But unfortunately, life is short and there are only twenty-four hours in each Earth-day. A mortal being cannot even dream of understanding each and every nonlinear phenomenon in the known and the unknown parts of the cosmos. Consequently, one has to compromise and patiently nibble into the gigantic and highly branched research area(s) of nonlinear dynamics. I try doing exactly that, and I am realizing more and more that my chaotic life is just a game!

My current research interests lie primarily in the theoretical aspects of game theory, including classical, behavioural, epistemological, and evolutionary frameworks. Exciting interdisciplinary topics of research in complex systems, such as evolutionary game dynamics, are very much in vogue. The concept of evolution is easily among the most revolutionary leaps in human understanding of nature. I explore evolution through the lens of nonlinear dynamics, statistical mechanics, and information theory. My ongoing endeavours investigate the evolution of bias, consensus, collaboration, cooperation, and fairness. Additionally, I am fascinated by the game-theoretic aspects of collective and individual behaviours in ant colonies.
